One of the greatest Sci-fi directors of all time proves why
he is one of the greatest Sci-fi directors of all time with this beautifully
filmed and masterfully written tale of
hope and survival. What makes great
science fiction is not the tech, story complexities, fantasy, or even the glimpses
of unique and astounding possibilities; but an undeniable humanity that
connects with the audiences' soul on both a collective and very personal
level. This is great science
fiction. Now, is the science part 100%
accurate? No, of course not; if that
were the case, this story wouldn't even be possible. But the inspired performances of Damon and
his supporting cast and a well-crafted script eclipses any anomalies, no matter
how glaring. The subtle humor and
genuineness of Matt's space castaway, mixed with stunning cinematography and
dynamic action and effects, make this an instant classic in its genre. I would have preferred a little less Disco,
but it was a small price to pay to be thoroughly immersed in this amazing film.
4 out of 5 Kernels: how many times are we going to have to rescue this
guy...geesh!
